I want to fire fetch
method on Backbone Collection which would pass an Id parameter similar to what happens in Model.fetch(id)
E.g.
var someFoo= new Foo({id: '1234'});// Where Foo is a Backbone Model
someFoo.fetch();
My Backbone collection:-
var tasks = backbone.Collection.extend({
model: taskModel,
url: '/MyController/GetTasks',
initialize: function () {
return this;
}
});
In my View when I try to fetch data:-
var _dummyId = 10; //
// Tried approach 1 && It calls an api without any `id` parameter, so I get 500 (Internal Server Error).
this.collection.fetch(_dummyId);
// Tried approach 2 && which fires API call passing Id, but just after that
// I am getting error as below:- Uncaught TypeError: object is not a function
this.collection.fetch({
data: {
id: _dummyId
}
});
Found it very late : To cut short the above story I want something like Get /collection/id in backbone.
Thank you for your answers, finally I got the solution from Backbone.js collection options.
Apologies that I couldn't explain the question properly while for same requirement others have done brilliantly and smartly.
Solution : I can have something like :-
var Messages = Backbone.Collection.extend({
initialize: function(models, options) {
this.id = options.id;
},
url: function() {
return '/messages/' + this.id;
},
model: Message,
});
var collection = new Messages([], { id: 2 });
collection.fetch();
